Chapter 60 Information
When Mai Dangxiong heard Jiang Ran praise "Pretty Girl", he laughed a little smugly.
"Ha-ha! Mr. Jiang, you have won the award! The original purpose of making this film was to reflect some of the current social problems in Hong Kong, and now it has only achieved its original purpose. ”
Mai Dangxiong finally didn't forget that Jiang Ran was the guest of honor tonight, so after showing off, he changed the topic and began to praise Jiang Ran.
"Director Jiang's first film created a box office of more than 20 million in Hong Kong, and the box office of "Pretty Girl" is far from Mr. Jiang's movie. ”
On the surface, Mai Dangxiong's words were humbling and praising Jiang Ran, but Jiang Ran heard a different taste from them. This seems to be saying that although the box office of "Pretty Girl" is poor, it is not a commercial film in the first place, and its artistic requirements have been met.
Although Jiang Ran heard the subtext of Mai Dangxiong, he didn't care about these things. After all, Jiang Ran's main identity is the boss of the company, and although he directs movies, he is only interested, so when there is no conflict of interest, Jiang Ran doesn't care whether Mai Dangxiong is proud or not.
"Mr. Mak is able to make the movie achieve its intended purpose is already very remarkable, and the box office of the movie is also very good. In the future, if Mr. Mak has a movie script, he can come to us Ran Feng, and of course, the promotion of the movie can also come to us, and I am looking forward to cooperating with Mr. Mak. ”
Jiang Ran smiled and tentatively threw an olive branch to Mai Dangxiong, Mai Dangxiong's ability is very good, and he is a good partner to work with.
After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Mai Dangxiong was also very happy, he had already met Jiang Ran tonight and laid the foundation for future cooperation with Ran Feng.
Therefore, Mai Dangxiong said proudly: "Thank you Mr. Jiang for your love, you must come to Mr. Jiang next time you have a script, who doesn't know who is making movies in Hong Kong now, and the publicity of Ran Feng is second to none in Hong Kong." ”
Of course, Jiang Ran will not take Mai Dangxiong's words seriously, because in Hong Kong, no matter when, the cinema chain is the king, and when Ranfeng does not have its own cinema chain, the publicity ability is a castle in the air.
Jiang Ran saw that Mai Dangxiong had never mentioned the purpose of tonight, and he was not interested in going around in circles with him, so he asked directly: "Mr. Mai invited me over tonight, I don't know what is the matter?"
Mai Dangxiong listened to Jiang Ran's direct question, so he said directly: "Mr. Jiang, I invite you tonight, on the one hand, I really want to get to know you, and I hope that Mr. Jiang's Ranfeng Group can take more care of our company in the future." ”
"On the other hand, I know that Oriental Charm is Mr. Jiang's property, and I hope that Mr. Jiang can give Ah Qi and Ah Xia a chance to show their faces in the magazine. ”
After listening to this, Jiang Ran realized that Mai Dangxiong's main purpose tonight was really to know himself, and Jiang Ran himself didn't find out when he had such a status in the Hong Kong film industry.
But Jiang Ran is still very happy, his efforts in the past two years are finally worthwhile. Therefore, Jiang Ran smiled and said to Mai Dangxiong: "Mr. Mai, you are so polite, everyone eats in this place in Hong Kong, and I am very willing to make friends with a handsome man like Mr. Mai." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang Ran asked a little strangely: "Mr. Mai, my "Oriental Charm" is a monthly magazine, even if Ah Qi and the two are in the magazine now, it won't help "Pretty Girl" much, right?"
Mai Dangxiong listened to Jiang Ran's question and explained: "Mr. Jiang, Ah Qi and the two are actors in our company, and this time they finally have some fame in Hong Kong with "Pretty Girl", I hope they can maintain their current popularity." ”
After Jiang Ran listened to Mai Dangxiong's words, he thought that the magazine could also use this to make a girl's series, and the fame of these two people had no impact on Jiang Ran's company, so he took advantage of the situation to sell Mai Dangxiong's favor.
"Oh, that's right! Mr. Mak, it's the end of the month, and the layout of the new issue of the magazine is almost complete. I can only ask the magazine to squeeze you out as much as possible, and then you can discuss it with the magazine, do you think this will work?"
Mai Dangxiong said to Jiang Ran gratefully: "Thank you so much Mr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, don't worry, although I, Mai Dangxiong, am not as big as you, but I have been mixed in the Hong Kong film and television industry for so many years, if Mr. Jiang is useful to me in the future, I will never say anything." ”
Mai Dangxiong looked like he was grateful for his kindness, patted his chest and assured Jiang Ran, and when he spoke, the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes was very strong.
Jiang Ran looked at Mai Dangxiong's enthusiastic appearance, and just smiled and said kindly: "Mr. Mai is welcome, this is just a trivial matter." ”
Mai Dangxiong said: "It may be a trivial matter for Mr. Jiang, but it is a great help to me. Ah Qi and Ah Xia are not happy, thank you Mr. Jiang for lifting you up!"
"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for giving us the opportunity!" the two girls stood up and said respectfully in front of Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran rarely encountered this situation in his past and present lives, and he waved his hand a little unaccustomed and said, "You should thank Mr. Mai, he picked you up." I hope that you will work harder in the future to maintain your current popularity. ”
Jiang Ran had a young face, but he said old-fashioned words, and he felt a little awkward. Although Jiang Ran is now a billionaire, he himself doesn't have much feeling about it.
He knows that a large part of his success is due to his foresight, so even though he has achieved something in his career now, he still has a humble and cautious attitude in dealing with people.
Jiang Ran doesn't feel that he is a level higher than others, he just has more knowledge of the times than others, if he is not careful, Jiang Ran does not dare to guarantee that one day in the future, he will not step on the air, so that he will not recover.
Jiang Ran and Mai Dangxiong finished chatting about business, and heard Shi Nansheng next to him also chatting happily with Zhong Chuhong.
"Sister Shi, did you completely jump out of Li's this time? You should have done this a long time ago, Director Xu is now starting his own company, and he has been waiting for you, the big housekeeper, for a long time. ”
After Jiang Ran heard Zhong Chuhong's words, he asked, "What's the matter, Sister Shi, are you finally willing to resign from Li? You must know that Brother Ke has complained in front of me several times." ”
Shi Nansheng shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Although I also had plans to resign, I never made up my mind, this time because Li's may have to change the boss again, so I just jumped out completely." ”
Mai Dangxiong is Li's old minister, and it was because of Li's change of boss last year that their old ministers followed Huang Xizhao to leave Li, and now they have listened to Shi Nansheng's words. Can't help but gloat.
"Last year, when the Australian consortium became the owner of Li's and drove away Mr. Huang, I knew that Li's good days were over, and sure enough, now Li's was overwhelmed by wireless and couldn't turn over, and the loss was serious. ”
Jiang Ran heard that Li's might change hands, and asked, "Li's situation is so bad? It's only been a year, and it's going to change hands again? Who is the new boss this time?"
Although Shi Nansheng is in Li, he is only a producer, and he is not very clear about the specific operation of the company, so when he heard Jiang Ran's words, he said: "I just heard that the Australian consortium has plans to sell Li because of Li's serious losses, but I don't know much about the specific situation." ”
Although Mai Dangxiong left Li's, as the confidant of Huang Xizhao, the former general manager of Li, he is very well-informed about Li's news.
"Li's is now losing tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars a year, and now she is being overwhelmed by wireless in ratings, and she doesn't know when she will make a profit. The purpose of the Australian consortium to buy Li was for profit, but now that it sees that the profit is indefinite, of course it wants to sell. I have heard that Mr. Qiu Degen of the Far East is now in contact with an Australian consortium, and he is the most likely to become the owner of Li. ”
Jiang Ran knew that in history, the person who became the owner of Lili this time was indeed Qiu Degen, and after entering Li, he changed Li's name to ATV and began to rule ATV for six or seven years.
Jiang Ran only knew that Li's would change hands and change its name to ATV, but the specific time of the incident was not very clear. Now I know that it is happening right in front of my eyes.
This news made Jiang Ran a little distracted all night, the opportunity to own a TV station was in front of him, and he very much wanted to take advantage of it to almost get a kick in it.
